No collections day for me tomorrow since I'll be somewhere over the Atlantic in an aluminum tube. So to make up for that, I spent some time in the gallery of the lovely Lapworth Museum at the University of Birmingham.

So you've heard about trilobites, but do you know Naraoids? These trilobite cousins shared similar bodies but differed in details. Most importantly, they lacked hard exoskeleton and had only soft cuticle. That's why they are known only from sites with exceptional preservation, such as Burgess Shale.
